• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Power Steering Question

    Just got to ryde my 2014 RTL and found much less power steering at low speeds compared to my 2018 RTL. Has anything changed or does my old one need service? Decent at road speeds. Really enjoy spyderlovers.com. So many nice people here!

    Something gone crazy here

    Went on Spyderlovers.com this morning and first thing I noticed was that it did not sign me in automatically and my password had evaporated and there were ADs everywhere! Ordered new password, signed on and still lots of ads tho less so. My home computer is fine just like always. What is going...

    Is there an easy way to change the key barrel on a 622 trailer?

    Just realized I need to rekey my 622 trailer to the new ryde. Been looking but have not found the magic thread? Finally got a chance to spend a whole afternoon on the AWESOME new RT L!:clap:

    Pit Bull Built RTL on the bank of the Big River

    Finally got a chance to ryde new toy to my favorite watering hole aka the UTH (Under the Hill) Saloon in Natchez right on the Mississippi. Roy and Anne Smith showed up last night at Riverview RV Park with their 2 gorgeous brown RT Limiteds.

    Faint squeal (or faint whistle) when parked

    Often, when parked in my garage, I used to hear a sound like a very weak smoke alarm. Finally tracked it down to the RTS. Don't know where. Does not do it all the time and never at a dealer (too much background noise) Spyder has been on its open trailer for most of the past ten days. Put 60...

    Spyder RT vs HD TriGlide

    Proved to myself once again how great the RT is:yes:. Several times a year I meet a group of very close friends in various parts of the country for a ride. This past weekend, we were in Gatlinburg for a run through the dragon. Two of my brothers rode their RTs 1,000 miles from Houston (via...

    Hello from Natchez

    Currently the only Spyderryder around here. Always on the lookout for new visitors! When in town I can be usually be found near the Pig Out Inn, the most bike friendly Bar B Que place around or occasionally near the Under The Hill Saloon on Silver Street watching the River go by!

    RTS, Where did the term come from?

    While on another site, (http://motorcycle-intelligence.com) I discovered that RTS stands for Runaway Throttle Syndrome:roflblack:. I know that my Spyder has that attribute on all the right roads..... the twistier the road the greater the effect (I cannot call it a problem:D!)

    Confirmation of RTS Purchase Decision!

    Story is that I flew to NYC for a nice ride with old friends. No Spyder available :sour: so I rented a 2010 HD Trike. Beautiful, but sedate, machine with lots of torque and noise and size. I had a lot of fun with the 200 miles I put on it but there is NO COMPARISON as to which bike is more pure...

    Something is not right

    While patroling a gravel road on the levee on the Vidalia, La side of the Mississippi River yesterday, I high centered a couple of times. Upon returning to the pavement and accelerating hard, my new RTS had a terrible banging sounding like metal against metal and some slippage. Slowing down made...

    My own Guts and Glory Ryde??

    My new Limited #582 and matching RT-622 Trailer sit at JP's Town and Country Sports Center in Cement City, Michigan. Old RT PE#528 and I sit in southwest Mississippi. I think I would have a fun time ryding PE528 roughly 1,000 miles to Cement City. Planning a stop at Tenn/Ms/Al border...

    RT Trailer dimensions

    Have to go to Town & Country, Cement City, Mi soon and pick up my new Limited and RT622 Trailer. If weather does not improve up there, may have to drive up in cage and haul it all back to deep South. Need to know actual dimensions of the RT622 as to overall width, height, and length. May try...

    White Limited

    Has anyone taken delivery of a 2011 White RTS Limited Edition? I know it comes with the Garmin 660, but is it missing anything that was on the 2010 version? It looks like one has to purchase the ipod connection now that was standard in the trunk of the original black RTS PE models. Thanks

    First Impressions

    Last year I got to spend about 10 hours on an SE5 and an SM5. Liked both but decided when I bought a Spyder I would choose an SE. I really wanted a touring machine but the originals were a little rough around the edges and I decided to pass. When the RT was announced, I knew the wait was over...

    Rear Radio Control

    I am probably missing something, but playing with PE528 in the garage today (got it last night and it has rained all day today!), I discovered that the rear seat radio control will change the station (FM) but not adjust the volume at all. The front control changed the volume of both sets of...

    RT-S and RC A&C

    Has anyone figured out the difference between an RT-S fully loaded and an RT A&C fully loaded. They appear same and the A&C is somewhat less expensive. What color is the lighter color. Can't tell on the monitor if it is white or silver. Also is the Premier Edition limited to Black? Cappy:joke...

    Going from 2 wheels to 3

    I am about to make the leap from 2 wheels to 3. Do any of you miss the leaning and banking of the normal bike. My current ride is a Suzuki Burgman 650 which is a blast to ride. I don't know whether it is a scooter that thinks it is a motorcycle or vice versa. I have waited for the Spyder SE...
